Like the title says, I got bored and decided to look up some "rumors" or "inside information" concerning the 2013 NFL Draft as it pertains to the Jags.

Jacksonville Jaguars:

April 26: "Mort on ESPN "don't rule out'' Jags take a QB on 2nd Rd. I think we can rule it out. No QB before 3rd round for Jags." - Vito Stellino, Jacksonville.com


April 26: "I'm hearing @Jaguars leaning toward taking Johnthan Banks w/ 1st pick in 2nd round, not a QB." - Gil Brandt


April 26: "Jax picks first today, and expect the Jags to field offers for that pick. If it's not a deal down, or a QB, Cyprien could be in play too." - Albert Breer


April 25: Scott Bischoff of NewEraScouting.com says that the Jaguars will take Ezekiel Ansah at No. 2.


April 24: "The more I've thought about it, the more trouble I have getting on board with a tackle at No. 2. They can fill a hole at right tackle easily in later rounds and don't need two left tackles." - Paul Kuharsky, ESPN AFC South Blogger


April 23: "Feeling is OTs Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher will be first two players picked Thursday night." - Adam Schefter


April 21: "I've had Dion Jordan going to JAX for a long time. However, I've talked to several GM's/Personnel Directors that expect JAX to take an OT." - Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network


April 19: It's unclear if Brian Baldinger had inside information while saying this, but he stated on 97.5 the Fanatic that Dion Jordan to Jacksonville is a lock.


April 15: Peter King wrote that the Jaguars could look for a "special pass-rusher" with the second-overall pick, with Dion Jordan being the obvious choice. "[Gus Bradley] can find plugger interior defensive linemen and corners down the line, the way he's done in his last couple of coaching stops."


April 4: "Geno Smith will be a top-five draft pick. There isn't any doubt about it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him go in the top three. Specifically, to Jacksonville second overall." - Jason La Canfora


March 28: Daniel Jeremiah tweeted that he's heard a connection between Ryan Nassib and the Jaguars.


March 26: "I'm always skeptical of draft rumblings during this time of year but I've heard several league sources mention JAX-Geno." - Daniel Jeremiah


March 25: "The Jaguars are interested [in Geno Smith], preliminarily at No. 2." - Peter King


March 22: Adam Schefter said that the first landing spot to watch for concerning Geno Smith is No. 3 overall. He doesn't believe the Jaguars are genuinely interested in Smith despite their perceived interest.


March 20: The Jaguars were "more impressed than they were prepared to be" when working out Geno Smith. - SI.com's Don Banks


March 18: Referencing the March 14 item by Pro Football Talk, head coach Gus Bradley, general manager David Caldwell and the others I mentioned all met with Geno Smith and then spent about 90 minutes breaking down video. Team president Mark Lamping was also there. - Jaguars.com


March 14: "The Jaguars are meeting with Geno Smith as we speak. They have a lot of interest." - Todd McShay


March 14: Pro Football Talk reports that the Jaguars are sending the entire contingent to West Virginia's Pro Day on Thursday. This includes general manager David Caldwell, head coach Gus Bradley, offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch and senior vice president Tony Khan. Caldwell gushed about Blaine Gabbert earlier, but that could have been a smokescreen. The Smith visit could be smoke as well, but it's more logical that Jacksonville would be more interested in Smith than its new general manager would be in favor of sticking with the player who got his predecessor fired.


Feb. 4: "Matt Scott, a favorite of the Jaguars recently hired quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo. The two are familiar with each other from their days in Arizona and word was they spent a significant amount of time together prior to Scott's appearance at the Shrine Game." - Tony Pauline


Jan. 27: Gus Bradley told the NFL Network crew that learned from Pete Carroll to build team on speed.
